It’s a Neckasary because it keeps everything
necessary for stitching right around your neck where it is handy
on an airplane, in class, at the office, in the car, or in your favorite
stitching chair! There’s a magnet hidden behind the bandana
lining to “park” your
needle. “Orts” are thread snippets, so that pocket holds
them, and the top pocket can be modified for whatever tools you consider
essential. Down among the cows you can keep a collection of needles
and pins. The clasp is magnetic, so no fumbling. The materials are
readily available; a bandana, felt, 20 ct linen, button magnet and
magnetic clasp (look in jewelry findings at any craft store or site).
All the photos, illustrations, patterns and instructions are included
for this easy, fun organizer !Check your stash for the Ginnie Thompson
Flower Thread colors: 100, 260, 370, 745, 900. CT14
